Remote Work Comes to Piloting Ships

RANDERS, Denmark—Joergen Andersen's usual commute takes him by boat to a 30-foot-long rope ladder dropped down the side of a ship in rolling seas.

"We strongly encourage anyone interested to take time to ensure their application reflects their motivation, understanding of the role and suitability and apply as soon as it opens."

Further recruitment campaigns are expected in the next six to 12 months.
